Why does M. Night Shyamalan get to keep making movies?
Trey Parker once sang, “Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?” and after seeing The Happening on DVD, I’m beginning to think the same thing about M. Night Shyamalan.

Videos from the My Chemical Romance show in Denver
Since I talked about it so much, I thought I’d post these videos I found on YouTube of the My Chemical Romance concert in Denver 4/14/08. I was in the front and couldn’t sneak a camera, but apparently people in the back got some decent footage. Sleep My Way Home is Through You The Jetset…

My Chemical Romance : Rock Superheroes
It’s hard for me to write a review of a My Chemical Romance show without filling it with hyperbole and grand statements about how they are the greatest band ever. After seeing them last March at Magness Arena during their giant tour supporting The Black Parade, I was beyond excited to get another chance to…
